It’s the second day of MWC 2023 and brands continue to showcase truly amazing technologies. We have had some interesting smartphone launches as well, however, Realme has stolen the show with its new device. The company has just launched the highly anticipated Realme GT 3, featuring an intriguing design and blazing-fast 240W charging. According to the brand, the phone’s 4,600mAh battery can be fully charged in just nine and a half minutes, making it one of the fastest-charging phones on the market.

Realme GT 3 launch

Realme GT 3 is not a new device, it is just the Realme GT Neo 5 (review) with a new name. Beyond its fast charging, the handset is also notable for having an interesting RGB-studded back. Unlike the popular Nothing Phone 1, the lighting on the back of GT 3 doesn’t cover the whole of the back, but only a small square to the right of its cameras. It can serve as a notification light and also warn you when the battery is low.

Other than this, the Realme smartphone features fairly standard specifications. It gets a 6.74-inch 144Hz OLED display. The resolution is 2772 x 1240 pixels with 100% DCI-P3 coverage and a 1,500Hz touch sampling rate. The phone is powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC from Qualcomm. The processor is paired with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage. There’s an under-display fingerprint sensor for security.

The camera department of the handset is rather ordinary. You get a 50MP primary camera accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro shooter. For clicking selfies, there’s a 16MP Samsung sensor placed inside a centered punch hole at the top of the screen. It has an 8-component cooling solution, that includes a vapor chamber and multiple-layer graphite for heat dissipation.

The Realme GT 3 has three colors – White, Black, and Purple. It will be offered in five storage configurations:

  • 8GB + 128GB
  • 12GB + 256GB
  • 12GB + 512GB
  • 16GB + 512GB
  • 16GB + 1TB

As of now, the company has only announced the price of the base model– $649. The sale date and availability of the handset should be confirmed pretty soon. We’ll keep you posted.
